gauging the numbers of attendees is important, the earlier you can make an estimate on this the better.

Mitch

He asked about why you're waiting for the exchange rate to increase to collect payment.

And I'm it was tongue-in-cheek.

It was tongue in cheek, we are just waiting on a payment system to be finalised.

Why is this important?

Quote

Go to the site to register, payment is due when bitcoin goes up a bit more

I would assume he wants to benefit the attendees, so we don't have to fork over as many bitcoins to cover the hotel cost in Euros.

Hi, I just registered as sponsor (right in time before midnight to join the club at 10 btc) and did not received any btc address nor confirmation via mail. I suppose it's normal and I will wait.

edit: I just noticed the confirmation web message that you'll contact me later. no problem then. keep up the good work!

UPDATE: Early bird discount ends in 8 days.

Just over a week left for early bird registrations, please register to take advantage of the discount. We need to get an idea of numbers so we can make some reservations for an appropriate venue.

Payment is not due, just register yourself to lock in the price, 150 Euros is the early bird price 165 Euros after that.

Hotel is now unbundled from the package, we won't be offering accommodation at all but will recommend some hotels where participants can book to stay in the same place as others.

I don't understand this. Was it not possible to have the bundle as a default and add an unbundled option for the minority who have other accommodations?

It's the majority of people that want to unbundle it.

We just don't have the numbers to warrant it the bundle option. We have been taking into account everyone who has registered stating their preference.

It works out better if we recommend a hotel so we get as many people under the one roof that want to be. Once we confirm the venue we will make a recommendation.

Still open to suggestions if anyone has any ideas.

We have been looking for high profile detractors, a debate or panel discussion might work nicely.

Does anyone have any suggestions for detractors?

I'll send you a group made of bernanke, some of the sa trolls, some keynesian guys and some "hackers can hack anything, bitcoin too" ppl Grin

Invite Krugman http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/07/golden-cyberfetters/

There are several types of detractors, it depends on what you look for.

Only on the economics side, there are Keynesians, lovers of inflation, and also the goldbugs ("It's backed by nothing!"). Bringing somebody that's for inflation is probably pointless, but high profile goldbugs might be interesting. You may find them around places like the Mises Institute. Hasn't Peter Schiff made these type of criticisms on bitcoin, by the way? He would be very "high profile", maybe even too much expensive since he's a media guy already... but it doesn't hurt asking. ;-)

There's also the technical side. I'd like to see some good technical criticism.
